Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains the Sabbatical SUMMER 2016 Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains The Sabbatical Pastor’s Letter Change and the Promise of Pentecost May 2016 There is an old joke about people not liking change. The joke is that the only people who like change are toll collectors and babies with wet diapers. You can tell it’s an old joke because toll collectors have disappeared with the invention of EZ Pass. Babies still need to be changed. Change is difficult. Transitions in life can be powerful and uncomfortable moments. They are challenging even when we think we are prepared for them. They can be even more unsettling when they ambush us unaware. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher once wrote, “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Change is a fact of life. Change is a consequence of our being alive. We might even say that change is a necessary condition for our growth and maturity. Yet coming to terms with all of the emotional undercurrents that go along with change is not always easy for us. Putting a little one on a school bus for the first time can bring a parent to tears. Seeing your child attend his or her first prom makes you wonder where the time has flown. Retiring after years of productive and fulfilling work can bring unexpected feelings of vulnerability and emptiness. Although change is constant and inevitable we can still feel insecure and anxious about the uncertainty that change brings. Until my retirement in 2013, I served as the Canon for Deployment and Transition Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. During that time I assisted over 180 parishes (some big, some small) through their transitions as they called new rectors and clergy in charge of congregations. For the past three years, I have served as an Interim Pastor and Transition Consultant in the Diocese of Long Island. Even in retirement, my ministry continues to focus on themes of change and transition. At the beginning of May I will be with you while your rector takes his sabbatical. I have been asked to be with you as your priest and pastor to provide continuity and stability in our worship life together as well as to offer pastoral care for the parish. I have been touched by your warmth, your kindness, and your generous welcome. Change can be difficult but, as the People of God, we are never alone through these times of transition. As we grow and mature in our life together as the disciples of Jesus, He has promised that the Spirit of God will be with us and will bless us with creativity, confidence and hope. That promise is the promise of Pentecost. Thank you for your kind welcome. I look forward to our time together. + Thomas The Reverend Canon Thomas Orso El Cambio y la Promesa de Pentecostés - Father Orso's message as translated by Father Barrios Hay un chiste acerca de la gente que no le gustan los cambios. El chiste es que las únicas personas que les gusta el cambio son quienes trabajan como cobrador@s de peaje y l@s bebés con pañales mojados. Se puede decir que es un chiste viejo porque l@s cobrador@s de peaje han desaparecido con la invención de EZ Pass o carril expreso. A l@s bebés todavía tenemos que cambiarle. El cambio es difícil. Las transiciones en la vida pueden ser momentos de gran alcance e incómodas. Ellos son un reto, incluso cuando pensamos que estamos preparad@s para ellos. Pueden ser aún más inquietantes cuando nos tienden una emboscada que desconocíamos. Henri Bergson, un filósofo francés, escribió una vez, "Existir es cambiar, cambiar es madurar, madurar es ir sin fin en la creación de un@ mism@." El cambio es un hecho de la vida. El cambio es una consecuencia del hecho de que vivimos. Podríamos incluso decir que el cambio es una condición necesaria para nuestro crecimiento y madurez. Sin embargo, llegar a un acuerdo con todas las corrientes emocionales que van junto con el cambio no siempre es fácil para nosotr@s. Poner un poco de un@ en un autobús escolar por primera vez, puede llevar a un padre o madre a llorar. Al ver que su hij@ asista a su primer baile hace que un@ se pregunta dónde ha volado el tiempo. Retirarse después de años de trabajo productivo y satisfactorio puede traer sentimientos inesperados de la vulnerabilidad y el vacío. A pesar de que el cambio es constante e inevitable es posible que todavía podamos sentirnos con inseguridad y preocupación por la incertidumbre que trae el cambio. Hasta mi jubilación en 2013, serví como el Canónigo de la Implementación y el Ministerio de Transición en la Diócesis Episcopal de Nueva York. Durante ese tiempo asistí a más de 180 parroquias (algunas grandes, otras pequeñas) a través de sus transiciones, mientras llamaban a sus nuev@s rector@s y sacerdotes a cargo de congregaciones. Durante los últimos tres años, he servido como sacerdote interino y Consultor de Transición en la Diócesis de Long Island. Incluso en el retiro, mi ministerio sigue centrándose en temas de cambio y transición. A principios de mayo estaré con ustedes mientras el rector toma su sabática. Se me ha pedido que sea con para ustedes su sacerdote y pastor para proporcionar junt@s continuidad y estabilidad en nuestra vida de adoración, así como para ofrecer atención de cuidado pastoral de la parroquia. He sido tocado por su calidez, su bondad y su generosa bienvenida. El cambio puede ser difícil, pero, como Pueblo de Dios, nunca estamos sol@s en estos tiempos de transición. A medida que crecemos y maduramos en nuestra vida junt@s como los discípulos de Jesús, Él ha prometido que el Espíritu de Dios estará con nosotr@s y nos bendecirá con creatividad, confianza y esperanza. Esa promesa es la promesa de Pentecostés. Gracias por su amable bienvenida. Espero con ansias el tiempo que pasaremos junt@s. + Thomas El Reverendo Canónigo Thomas Orso Introducing: The Reverend Canon Thomas Orso In spring, the Reverend Richard Kunz, Rector of Grace Church, invited the Reverend Canon Thomas Orso to fill in for him while he will be on sabbatical from May until the middle of August. Canon Orso will be at Grace Church part time. Canon Orso was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and completed his undergraduate degree at Wittenberg University. After college, he taught at Wilmington Friends School, in Wilmington, Delaware. Canon Orso attended the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Following his ordination to the priesthood in 1979, he served for fourteen years as Chaplain and Chair of the Religion Department at Trinity Pawling School in Pawling, New York. He earned a second masters degree in counseling at Western Connecticut University in Danbury, Connecticut. After leaving Trinity Pawling, he served as a counselor for the Department of Mental Health in Putnam County, New York and then as an Interim Pastor in three congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. Bishop Mark Sisk invited him to serve as the Canon for Deployment and Transition Ministry in 2001. During his time on the bishop’s staff, Canon Orso assisted over 188 parishes in their search for a rector. He retired in 2013. In recognition of his service to the diocese, Bishop Andrew Dietsche granted him permission to retain, in perpetuity, the title of Canon. In retirement, he has served as an Interim Pastor in the Diocese of Long Island where he is also a search and transition consultant. In his free time, he has studied at the Art Students League of New York, is a subscriber to the New York Philharmonic, and is currently working on his family history. Meet Dr. Anna Vinnitsky, Grace Church Music Director If you haven’t already, it’s time you met our new Music Director, professional musician Dr. Anna Vinnitsky. An accomplished and distinguished musician, in-demand soloist, chamber musician, and educator, she earned her PhD in Musical Arts from SUNY Stony Brook, as well as a master’s degree from DePaul University and a bachelor’s degree from The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel Aviv University. In addition to her Music Director role, Anna serves on the piano faculty of the St. Luke’s School, a coed independent Episcopal day school in Manhattan. Only a few weeks into her new role, she has exciting plans ahead as she ushers in a new era of Grace Church’s music program. As Father Kunz says, “Anna brings experience, passion, skill, imagination, and a sense of joy into her work with us. I look forward to a new blossoming of our music program.” Anna is thrilled to be joining Grace Church in this capacity and recently shared her thoughts on a few topics: Passion for music “Music is my life,” says Anna, who was born in Moscow, Russia. “Music fills my life in an essential way. I was drawn to music, singing, and playing keyboard instruments at a very early age. Through music, I’m able to be a better person. Getting in touch with masterpieces, from the classics to contemporary styles, inspires me, uplifts me, and takes me to a higher understanding of music and life. It fills my life with gratitude. I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve been given a gift to share and I want to bring the same joy and upliftment to others.” Passion for family “I’m married to a fabulous musician,” she says of her husband, internationally acclaimed clarinetist Pavel Vinnitsky, who works with professional orchestras including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, and the American Symphony, while on the Woodwind Studies faculty at New York University and playing with Broadway orchestras—currently performing with Les Misérable.

  • 2020 Leatherstocking Council Annual Report
    LEATHERSTOCKING COUNCIL 2020 ANNUAL REPORT from the council president The challenges are what define us. I’d like to start off by saying thank you. Between our volunteers and our donors, you have done so much to help continue our mission. The young men and women of our program thank you as well. 2020 started as most years do, but as you know, by mid-March things changed drastically. Even with COVID, Scouting lived on. We adapted and overcame. We met in our dining rooms or back yards and utilized online meeting programs. But that’s what scouting is about, being prepared for the unexpected. I’m proud of each of you for continuing. Matthew E. Dziedzic Leatherstocking Even during these difficult times, we had some great successes. Thirty seven Scouts achieved Council President their rank of Eagle and 88 Cub Scouts earned their Arrow of Light. Additionally, we met the Barnes Family Challenge for Camp Kingsley. We received 382 gifts and pledges totaling $326,000 to be used to create a new welcome center. Seven local foundations answered our call to support our efforts, including three who supported our mission for the first time. One of our anonymous donors generously increased their normal pledge from $750 to $20,000 so that we could meet our goal and deadline by March 1st. Again, thank you! Sadly this year we lost some loyal supporters, one being Jean Mary Hastie. Her estate donated all the billboards and advertisements and even a sixty-second television commercial that aired 180 times honoring our Council’s Class of 2020 Eagle Scouts.
